The Captured Flags.

Now that the country fully under
stands the motives which prompted the
order to return the captured battle-sags
and the responsibility for that order
having been definitely fixed upon Presi-
dent Cleveland and his Democrrtic sd-
ministration, the question as to the Gus
tody and disposition of these emblems is
exciting no small degree of interest.
Various arguments are being advanced
by way of excuse or palliation for the
unpatriotic act of the President but no
amount of reasoning can wipe out the
fact that what he proposed to do was
something that the loyal sentiment of
the country could not and would not
sanction or permit
1t has. been suggested by some that
following the example of the Romans, it
would be both fitting and patriotic to de-
stroy these mementos of civil strife.
Others maintain that the proper thing
to do is to keep the trophies iD the cus'
tody of the War Department, where
they can be preserved and seen at any
time by the public. There are a variety
of opinions between these extremes, but
it is to say that Congress is quite com
petent to deal with the whole subject,
and that in due time it will be disposed
of in manner creditable to the nation
and satisfactory to its veteran defenders.
The most conspicuous and important
lesson to be learned from the flag blunf
der is that the fires of patriotism are
still aglow; that the first Democratic
Administration since the war is out of
sympathy with the men who fought for
the preservation of the Uuion, and that
there is point beyond which it will not
be permitted to go in the superserviees-
BILE work Of wiping out the evidence Of
treason and rebellion. In view of the
fact that the administration has mani>
tested such willingness to condone
treason and rebuke loyalty, it is per-
fectly legitimate conclusion that the re>
call of the Democratic party to power
was entirely premature.-Pitts. Com Gaz.

LIFE grows more interesting as it goes
on only to those who find each day
bringing in some fresh knowledge of
the world in which they live-some new
experience giving value to all that has
gone and is to come-knowledge not so
much to be gained from books and from
actual study as by going about with
ones eyes open. and thus bringing daily
more power of seeing and of entering
into the interests and pursuits of others.
Every moment of life should be i'm
proved.

CoLoRED people are leavikg South
Carolina by the train load, going to the
West and Southwest. An Abbeville
correspondent of the New York Sun
says that from three counties alone
5000 negroes went in body to Arkan-
sas not long ago" In assigning
causes for the exodus he puts good
deal of stress upon "the loss
of their political rights" and of this
it is said that the existing state of
things will probably be permanent" "
Coming from a Democratic source the
frank admission that the negroes are de-
prived of their political rights in rather
surprising and certainly impressive.
To speak of the deprivation as perma.
neDt is to emphasize Senator Sherman's
indictment of Southern Bourbonism and
give force to every word uttered by him
and others concerning the duty of Con-
gress in the matter of undertaking a
supervision of Congressional elections.
A condition of society and a system of
laws under which popular suffrage be-
comes farce and republican form of
government is supplanted by class rule
are subjects of overshadowing import
ance, demanding attention from Con-
gress. Another cause fer migration is
the impossibility of obtaining justice"
In the courts. This he regards as more
substantial than the first, and will
doubtless be we'll founder for number
of years to come" The two great
wrongs, the two methods of oppression,
are closely related. The iron heel that
crushes negroes politically also stamps
out their civil rights. This Democratic
testimony here offered on propositions
Indignantly denied by Democratic pa
pers and politicians of the North-not
only denied but secuted "as waving
of the bloody shirt"-brings out the
truth IN a blaze of light so pentrating
and powerful that they will perhaps
have the discretion to abate their self
stultifying chatter.

If thou wishest to know what thou

EVERY man is rich or poor, according
to the proportion between his desires
and enjoyments Any enlargement of
riches is therefore equally destructive
to happiness with the diminution of
possession: and be that teaches another
to long for what he shall never obtain is
no less an enemy to his quiet than if he
had robbed him of part of his patrimOny.

A PNEUMATIC TUBE TO EURoPE.-
Colonel j. II. Pierce, of Saithington,
VINO has been studying the use of pneu-
matte tubes, has reached point at which
he hopes to show that tube across the
Atlantic can be used. Following is de-
scription of the apparatus as he conceives
1t The tubes will always be in couples.
with the currents Of air in one tube always
moving in opposite direction from the
other. The heaviest cannon will serve 10
illustrate the tube. A car takes the place
Of the charge, the tube to be indefinitely
continuous and the speed of the car to be
governed by the rapidity with which air
can be forced through. Time is required
to establish a current of air flowing with
great swiftness through tube perhaps
thousands of miles in length, but when
once created the motion will be nearly
uniform. The speed of the current may
be made as great as may be desired by u.s.
ing the steam driver fans employed in
blast furnaces. Niagara Falls could drive
blast fans and furnish motive power to keep
In motion the trains to connect this con-
tinent with the old world The temper
ature within the tube may be regulated by
passing blasts Of air entering the tube
through furnaces or over ice. The speed
attainable may reach 1000 miles an hour.
The tube lining and car exterior would be
of polished steel with corrugated sides
matching with wheels provided with anti
friction bearings. The speed, owing to
the curvature of the earth's surface, will
tend to overcome all weight and the
pressure viii be upon the upper part of
the tube; thus there is scarcely any limit
to the speed attainable. The invention
consist in the details Of the work.

GENERAL. SUGGESTIONS, AND A FEW WORDS
OF ADVICE TO THOSE WHO WISH 40
ENTER THE NORMAL SCHOOL.
l. Il is useless to attempt to complete
the severe course of study prescribed uti-
less you have good bodily health, and llar-
ing this, it should in no case be ieopartlizeCl
by attempting to practice the false economy
of living without sufficient and suitable
food or necessary comforts.
.. Experience has shown that cases are
very rare in which pupil can do justice
10 full school work and his own bodily
health, while earning even part of his
subsistence by work out of school hours.
8. Carefully examine the course of stu,IF
and decide how much OF it you have thor
onghiy accomplished. recognizing always
the difference between the knowledge re-
quired by teacher, and by one VIII, i
merely expecting to beeone a general
scholar.

yanced classes. There will be no tir.e in

Students in Botany are invited to do

should be prepared to meet an expense oi
about four dollars for IN Herbarium and
other appliances for Botany, in the Middle
